A DECORATED BEIT.
pi,l yon ever ■wrestle with a hen that
,j a wild, uncontrollable desire to in*
1,1,«te? Did you ever struggle on, day
,. r a»v, trying to convince her that
r uiisaiou was to furnish eggs for your
• instead of hovering all day cm a
iuur-kiiob, trying to hatoh ont a litter
i front doors?
Willi nn ifpioot, of this plaoe, who
ins made the hen a study, both in her
ome life and while lyingin the embrace
of death, has struck up an argument
rrhieh the average hen will pay. more
attention to tkan any other he hns dis
covered in his researches.
He says the modern hen ignores
almost everything when Bhe once gets
the notion that she is called npon to
incubate. Ton can deluge her with the
garden-hose, or throw old umbrellas at
her, or change her nest, but that don’t
count with the firm and stubborn hen.
You can take the eggs out of the nest
and put a blooded bull-dog or a nest of
new-laid bumble bees in place of them,
and she will hover over them os assidu
ously as she did before.
William' H. Boot's hen hod shown
some signs of this mania, so he took out
the eggs und let her try her incubator
on a horse-rake awhile, just so she could
kind of taper off gradual and npt have
her mind shattered. Then he tried her
at hatching out four-tined forks, and at
last her taste got so vitiated that sho
took the contract to furnish the country
with bustles by hatching out an old
hoop-skirt that had gone to seed.
Mr. Hoot then made an experiment.
He got a s trip of red flannel and tied it
nronnd her tail. The hen seemed an
noyed as soon as she discovered it. No
hen cares to have a sash hung on her
vstem that doesn’t match her complex
ion. A seal brown lion with a red flan
nel polonaise don’t seem to Harmonise,
,d she is awaro of it just as much as
suybody is.
That lien seemed to have thought of
emcttiing all at once that had escaped
her mind before. She stepped about
nine feet at a lick on the start, and
gained time as sho proceeded. Her eye
tx-gan to look wild. Sho got so pretty
soon that slio didn’t recognize tho faco of
friends. Sho parsed Mr. Root without
bung able to distinguish him from a
total stranger.
These peculiar movements were kept
tip during the eutire afternoon, till tho
hen got so fatigued that she crawled
into a length of a stovc-pipo. This is a
triumph of genius in the lino of hen
cii tura. It is not severe, though Arm
in t. uimcnt, and, while it of course nn-

AX ETIINOLOOIST’S EXPERIENCE.
Mr. Francis H. Cushing, the young
ethnologist, who was sent out by the
Smithsonian Institution to study the in
ner life of the Puetdo Indians of Now
Mexico, had somo strange adventures
when he was initiated into the secret or
der of tho Zunis. Having secured a
Bcalii— a necessary prerequisite—in tho
war with tho Apaches, ho presented
himself to the oouucil of Zuni warriors,
and, like Othello, though with d differ
ent jitir(K)se and to a different audionoe,
•old tho story of his valor in war. After
much persuasion on his part ho was
finally accepted as a suitable candidate,
and the ceremonies began. He was
tuken to the burying ground, whore a
aiiam fight, with prayers and songs in
terspersed, ensued. Carrying a pole, on
which was the Bcalp, he then marched at
tho head of the yelling bond of Indians
to some gardens, where the pole waf
stuck in the ground. Then until even
ing he had the pleasure of sitting mo
tionless on an ant-hill Ailed with ^nta,
which doubtless mode the most of their
unexpected opportunity. After further
prayers and other ceremonies he was
formally taken into the order. Then
followed a march around the town. A
aoore or more of dogs were killed to give
variety to the day’s festivities, and the
young fellow was then hurried off to be
baptized as “ a otiild of the parrots” and
“a son of the eagles.” For the next four
days he was looked without “fire,
°>eat, oil or tobacoo,” being forbidden
fo see any one. Nor was this alL For
the ensuing twelve days the ooremoniee
of this mystic order were oontinned, and
of them he writee to a friend in Boston:
"Freehin my memory as they are, they
seem to me the grandest, most in teres t-
•ng, weird and terrible experiences and
days that my life has ever seen, and open
up the sub-depths of meaning to my to-
oearcbes in Zuni’’ If, as he says, this
was the least wonderful part of his ex
perience, he will return bom the land
of the Pueblos with a narrative of sink*
*°8 interest, and with much valuable
information regarding the descendants of
Uie
Moutezumas. ’
BEATING A BIVAL.
The Remarkable Special Telegram Sent to
the New York •< Herald,"
[From tbs New York Stir.J
We were discussing, at the club, the
devipo of Stephen Fiake to hold the tel
egraph wires by sending the Bible
through to tho Herald, as represented
in the play of “ Michael Strogoff,” wfcen
Mir. Fiake himself strolled in. and was
importuned to give us the facts. " It
isn’t muoh of a story,” said he; " but as
it has been told in a dozen different
ways, in newspapers, magazines and
novels, you might as well’ hove the truth
of it. On arriving at the Clifton House,
Niagara Falls, with the Prince of Wales,
in I860,1 found that the telegraph office
wi^'not open on Sunday, so I paid the
operator $10 and his offioe expenses to
sent my Sunday message. While I was
writing the message, a Tribune reporter
came in and wanted the operator to tele
graph his news, which the operator de
clined to do. Then,, instead of asking
me for a chance at the wires, the Tribune
fellow went to the Hon. John Bose, then
Premier ot Canada, and onc^the Di
rectors of the telegraph company, and
obtained a written order which the
operator dared not disobey, that the
Tribune message must be sent when
mine was completed. As the Tribune
did not use telegraph much then,
I concluded that there must be somo
important news afloat which I must
gain time to procure. Besides, I re
sented the idea that u Canadian Premier
should interfere between two American
papers and issue an ex-parte order. So
I celled the operator’s attention to the
phrase, ‘ when Mr. Fisko’s message is
completed,’ and, as soon as that idea
was welfinto his head, I informed him
that he might toll the Tribune man that
my message would not bo completed
until Monday morning. Then I tele
graphed mv nows ; then my mail letter;
then saved Howard his postage by add
ing his letter to the Times, and then
looked about for'more ammunition. The
only two hooks I could find at the
hotel were the Bible and ' Claudo Du
val, tho Dashing Higwayman,’ so I
asked the operator which lie would pre
fer. He answered so profanely that I
thought a dose of tho Bible would do
him good. But, instead of sommencing
with tho first chapter of Genesis, as
Jules Verne describes, I selected a part
of the first chapter of Matthew, and
begged tlie operator to be very particu
lar about tho names. Have you a Bible
hero? Thanks. This is tho Btyle of
tho thing:
“ ‘And Judah bogqt Pharos and Zara
of Thmnur; and Pharos begat Esrom ;
and Esrom begat Aram ; and Aram be-
gnt Amiuidab; and Aminidub liegat
Naason; and Nansen begat Salmon;
and Salmon begat Boon of Bachnh;
and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and
Obcd begat Jesse.’
“There was about a column of that,
and then I skipped over to the Inst chap
ter hut one of Revelation arid wrolo out
some more nice names [or him. Hern is
a specimen :
“‘The first foundation was jasper,
the second sapphir , tlm third a cliulce-
Jnony, the fourth an emerald, the fifth
sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh
ehrysolyte, the eigain beryl, the ninth
atopuz, tlie tenth., ehrysoprasus, tho
eleventh a jacinth, tho twelfth an ame
thyst.’”
“ Before I had entered this chapter it
was after 2 o’clock in the morning, and
Rochester telegraphed to mu that the
wires wore down. 80 I paid my bill and
wont to bed, leaving the Tribune repor
ter fuming in tlie bar-room und wonder
ing what Frederick Hudson would say
when he read my Bible message. All
day Monday there was an ominous
silence. Then, on Tuesday, the Tribune
was kind enough to publish an editorial
telling tho story and demanding my dte.
charge. This gave the Herald the ad
vertisement it wanted, and more than
repaid the extra outlay. So, in tho
afternoon, Mr. Hudson telegraphed me:
• Good 1 Go ahead. Your salary is in-
creased from date.’ Everybody laughed
at the joke; I hod good cause to laugh
with them, and the Tribune man has
never ceased to abuse rile sinoe, although
he has long ago left the "
